expect in husband, and now
she doesn't understand why she took
the step she did and is anxious for q
reconciliation with her husband. All
the time that Seymour was impOrtuning
her to leave her home she kept up her
religious duties and finally came to feel
that she must go with him, that it was
her duty as Christian to do so. She
sacrificed her honor in the same peculiar
spirit that the religious crank
slaughters his children to the imagined
fiat of his god. She says she is penitent
and remorseful and can't understand
how her parents could take her back.
The weakness of Seymour, manifested
itself, according to her stery, on the
ocean, when he would lay in his berth
and damn himself for leaving his wife
and children and disgracing her. Much
against her will he decided to turn
about and return to America. Mrs.
Henry says while she longed
for reconciliation with her.
husband and parents she couldn't bear
to think of returning to them. She had
planned, uDon reaching New York to-
go to Chicago and support herself by
teaching music, but the arrest of Sey-
mour, alias Coverdale, and the meeting
of her by her brother put an end to this
dream, and she is here receiving" the
sympathy of many and suffering the
condemnation of few She remains at

lcal gaze OF the towns DeODle

WILL HE RECONCILE?
1t Is Doubtful if Henry Takes His
Wife Back.

At 2:15 this morning John A. Henry,
the injured husband, and George Allen,
brother of Mrs. Henry, returned from
their flying trip across the continent
and ocean in pursuit of the clippers.
All day Mr.. Henry has been re-
ceiving the congratulations and hearty
handshakes of JaneSville citizens who
welcome him back with an enthusiasm
that must be especially gratifying to
man in his position. A GLOBE reporter
found Mr.. Henry seated at his desk in
the Sanctum of the Argus early this
morning buSily engaged in going
through pile of mail that had accumu-
lated during his absence. Mr.. Henry is
man but tWenty-eight years of age, with
pleasant face, well Drowned from ex-
pOSure to the air of the ocean. A pair
of dark eyes look through gold-bowed
eyeglasses, and heavy black muStache
sets off his dark face to good advantage.
He is man one would hardly expect
woman to desert for such looking ar
rangement as Seymour is represented to
be by his photograph. Mr.. Henry
talked very freely regarding the un-
happy affair that had brought disgrace
to his family. He said the elopement
took him completely by surprise, as his
wife had treated him in the most affec-
tlonate manner up to the day she left,
ostenSibly to visit her cousin at Min
neiSka, but in reality to quit the country
with Seymour. That morning, as she
went to the train, she stopped at her
husbands Office to say goodbye, and in
doing SO threw her arms around his
neck and sobbed as though her heart

filled with flowers, and over the Win
dOwS climb morning glories and flower
ing vines. 1t is an unpretentiOus affair,
and in its building no attempt was made
at architectural adOrnment. 1t is a
square, frame structure, painted Il
ghoStly white. A broad walk of boards
reaches from the front door down to the
gate, and up this walk | walked last
evening, intent on finding out, if pOSSi-
BILE, where Seymour is, and what were
the intentions of Mrs. Seymour regard
ing the future. Ii was evident that she
intended leaving the town, from the fol-
lowing card, which appeared Monday in
the local paper:
All my furniture, including one cook stove
and two heaters several valuable books, etc.,
will be sold at reasonable prices. Call early
this week and look them over. MRS. SEYMOUR.
A rap on the door brought to it a
short woman with pleasant face, sur
rounded by dark hair, fastened in a
heavy coil at the back of her head.
This was Mrs. Seymour, and with
smile she ushered the reporter into the
parlor, sitting room and front bed room
combined. On bed in the corner slept
the youngest child of the recreant
preacher, but one year and eight months
of age, while three older children sat
grouped around their mother and looked
at the reporter as though he was some
amphibiOus animal that had strayed in
from the upper Nile. The floor was
covered with a rag carpet and on two
chairs in an adjoining room sat
a basket of clean clothes that told
plainly enough how the woman was
making her living. The house was
poorly furnished and the walls in many
places had been gouged and torn by the
sharp corners of the bedstead and other
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-09-07

and she finally, in sheer desperation, as
Sented. Her trunk was packed and ar
rangementS made for her to start when
he refused to let her go. The next day
she was stricken with brain fever and it
was while she lay under the physicians
care that Seymour removed his clothes
from the house and left his home. He
took with him about S175. Il have heard
from my husband" said Mrs. Seymour.
'He wrote me while in Jail in New York
and told me he was going to Chicago.
Since then haven't heard from him. l
don't think he will come back here and
l don't believe he has money enough,
and then shouldn't advise him to come
there is such strong public senti-
ment against him."
Mrs. Seymour is undecided as to her
future movements, but she thinks she
will go to Cable, Mercer county, ILL.,,
where she has friends who have known
her for years, and it is more than proba-
BILE that by the time she reaches
Cable, Seymour will be there to receive
her. She says she hasn't decided
whether she will live with him again or
not. She intends to keep him away
from his family for some time at least,
for she says she could punish him SO
keenly in TO other way. She may go to
British Columbia, where she has a
brother, but the chances are against
this move. In Illinois she expects to do
housework, and, with the assistance of
her son, get living. She says the citl-
zens of Janesville have been very kind
to her and will help her to move. She
will not prosecute Seymour unless Mrs.
Henry is prosecuted, for she thinks it
would be an act of injustice.
Mrs. Seymour talks like woman
who was fully prepared for any emer-
gency, and was willing to forgive any
injustice. She seems surprised only
that her husband should take the
money. The fact that he went away
with another woman doesn't seem to
worry her. She consoles herself with
saying that he didn't know what he was
doing, and he has repented and he
wanted to return from England and did
SO against the wishes of Mrs. Henry.
The chances are Mrs. Seymour will be
living with her husband again inside of
three weeks, but not here, for it is
worth Seymour's life for him to show
his face on the streets of Janesville.

Mrs. Henry Says Seymour EXerted
q Subtle Influence Over Her.
There is but one photographer in
GAINESVILLE, and mighty enterprising
individual he is. He carries around the
impression that he has got corner on
the photograph business, and when the
GLOBE representative approached him
to ascertain if he could get the photo
graphs of the principals in the elOpe-
ment case, he seemed to grasp the i'm
portance of his position at once, and,
sizing the newspaper man up with an
Observation-Disclosures cast
of face, said:
Eve got Mr.. and Mrs. Henry's pic
lures. How much'll yer give for emp"
''How much do you ask?'' inquired the
newspaper man.
U"Waal," said t e photographer, Eyer
see, Henry's er friend ov mine, an he
wouldn't want his picture published,
an if he knew l give it up he'd be
mad"
Then you wouldn't want to sell
them2"
''Oh, I'd sell 'em, but I'd want yer to
keep it ter yerself whar yer got 'em.''
''Why, certainly. What's your
price?"
"Waal,yer can have ther two fur s1O."
The reporter intimated that he must
have mortgage on his gallery, said he
wouldn't take the pictures and walked
away. The enterprising photographer
sat around on the sidewalk the rest of
the day and looked discouraged and
mad. He had lost on opportunity, but
he's liable to remain solid with Mr..
Henry, and the GLOBE got the desired
portraits for the asking.

JAY GOULD.
He is Reaching Out After Addi-
tiOnal Telegraph Lines.

SiOhoA AOAOSAOph IAhSSs
New YORK, Sept. 6.-There are now
several good reasons for believing that
Jay Gould will acquire, within very
short time, not only the telegraph, but
Mr.. Mackay's Commercial Cable COM
pany as well. and the thousands of
miles of land lines that Mr.. Mackay
practically owns. Negotiations looking
to union between the Gould and
Mackay interests have been in progress
for some time, conducted by MessrS.
ever Mr.. Mackay has been in New
York, and in his absence by S. l.. NJ.
Barlow, of counsel for MackaX, and DIR.
Green. At these conferences, the books,
particularly of the cable company, were
freely shown. Negotiations have not
been interrupted for day since Mr..
Mackay's return from Europe last
month. There is, therefore. every pros
pect that Mr.. Mackay's broad scheme of
a big cable and telegraph competition in
the interest of the general public will
go the way of many smaller and earlier
enterprises. DR.. Green said the nego-
tiations had been going on for some
time, but nothing of definite charac-
ter had been reached. Being asked
what stands in the way of a settlement
of this matter now, he replied:
"They want too much-altogether too
much.''
.sYou mean that the terms are too high?'
'.They want too much. That's all can
say
s'In the proposed bargain Mr. Mackay
wishes to stipulate, does he not, that you
shall make the rate 40 cents?'
''Yes; but | do not know that we would
have any objection to that. We are inclined
TO believe that Accent rate would now be
thesmost profitable. At the 12-cent rate the
business has increased 225 per cent and so
long as the rates are reasonable a large por-
tion of the new business would be held A
-i04cent rate now would be perhaps lust
about right for us and satisfactory to the

THE CHICAGO SQUEEZE.
A Big Law Suit Which Has Re,
suited TherefrOm.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-In the big suit Of
Charles j. KerShaw and Hamilton De-
war, for the use of Pcrtus B. Wear, re-
ceiver, against Maurice Rosenfeld Sc
Co., decision was yesterday filed in the
superior court. 1t is voluminous docu-
ment, and fully sets forth the cause Of
action to recover damages in the sum of
sS00,O00. The plaintiffs assert that on
June Is, Maurice Rosenfeld and Frank
E. Johnson, composing the defendant
firm, bargained for and bought 5000, 900
bushels of wheat at 9219c. to be deliv-
cred in June and paid for on. delivery.
Kershaw & Co. were ready and willing
to deliver the wheat as per contract, but
the defendants requested them to resell
the wheat on their account. June
wheat had in the meantime taken big
drop, and the plaintiffs were forced to
sell Rosenfeld Il Co.'S 5000, 600 bushels
at 7419c, in the aggregate just 100000
less than it had cost. The defendants
were liable for this deficit.ind promised
to pay, but failed to do SO. The decla-
ration contains seventeen different
counts, but all tell substantially the
same story-that the defendants were
caught in a corner and could not get tout.

A Total Financial wreck.

sCINcINNATTI, Sept. 6.-From the re-
port of J. Fl. Stewart, trustee of j. L.
Harper & Co., filed in the probate
court. it appears that the firm had no
real estate, and that the face value of
assets, consisting of stocks, bonds, notes,
cash, ETC.. was S136,G9S, while the ap-
sets we're book accounts of the face val
ueof 81, ,733, appraised at S94, ,131,
making the total appraisement value of
assets S193,202. The total direct liabili-
ties are 81 ,G46, IA, indirect liabilities as
indorsers S1,692,0 ,073. Among the debts
is one of s35S, 800 from E. L. Harper, and
it appears that this firm indorsed for
Harper's other firms. The firm of E. l..
Harper 81 Co., was an iron commission
firm. The showing would give credit
ors about per cent. on their claims.

anu HOWerlnS plants. lnlS is the
old Allen homestead and here the
childhood days of Fannie Allen
were passed. She grew up an only
daughter of indulgent parents. who
laviShed on her all the comforts that
their well-tO-do circumstances would
permit. Here at the age of 16 John A.
Henry married her and placed her in
charge of as pleasant home, just one
block away, as any woman might
wish to POSSESSES. They lived happily
and two lovely children blessed their
union, black-haIred boy, "a prototype of
his father, and a bIue-eyed, golden
haired girl, possessing all the charms of
face and form that made her young
mother attractive. Eight years John
Henry confided implicitly in his wife,
and she seemed to love him and her
home and to worship her children until
the sanctimonious viper crept in upon
the hearthStone and threw its Shiny
coils around its weak victim. Mrs.
Henry is not beautiful woman, but
she wears her twenty-four years splen-
didly, and there is that about the trust
ing face that would attract the attention
of any man. She is pretty in the highest
meaning of the term. She pos
SesSeS a beautiful complexion and
her wealth of auburn hair
falls gracefully over her finely
poised neck and gracefully moulded
shoulders. Despite her motherhood,
she is hardly more than child yet, and
to see her one cannot wonder that she
was overcome by superior mind, for
this is what she told her brother yester-
day morning, in the midst of sQbs and
tears, that Seymour had charmed her
as a snake would charm bird, and
when he set his subtle influence to play
upon her she had no power to control
herself. Mrs. Henry would not see the
GLOBE representative. but she author
lied her brother to tell all she felt.
George Allen, of Madison Lake, brother
of Mrs. Henry, said his sister did not
realize the fearfulnesS of the step she
had taken until she was back in her
home, and she felt the sheltering arms
of her aged mother once more about her.
Then her cOmpoSure gave way to tears
and she cursed herself for the disgrace
that she had brought upon her family
According to her story Seymour had
been winding his unhoiy. sway over her
for weeks, and whenever he was present
she would lose all self control and feel
like one under some strange spell. For
weeks, she claims, Seymour had begged
her to leave her home and fly with him.
but she could never decide to do it until
the unfortunate Monday, five weeks
ago, when Seymour had brought the full
force of his mind to bear upon her, and
at last her will gave away. The rest of
the story is known. She says she be-
lieveS he was meSnlerist, as when he
was away from her the wonderful in
fatuation for him would disappear. She
says she never had any trouble with her
husband and dearly loved her children.
Mr.. Henry had built pretty cottage,
furnished it elegantly, gave her an
organ and piano that she might enjoy
her taste for music, and was

WHERE SEYMOUR PREACHED.
A Modest Brick Structure With
Broken Windows.

The sun was just sinking behind the
hills in the West when l walked down
the broad street, lying under canopy
of naples, and up to the door of the
modest brick structure where Seymour
taught morality to large congregation
of Methodist believers. A cow, with a
clamorous bell hung to her neck, fed on
the grass, and weeds grew around
the steps in rank profusion, and seemed
to question my right of entrance as l
approached the gateway that opened
opposite the door of the church.
The structure and its surroundings
wore an air of wretched abandonment.
1t is not pretentious building, yet one
that any congregation in town of the
size of GAINESVILLE might well congratu-
late itself ON possessing. 1t is
built of gray brick. the front orna-
mente6 with three windows edged with
cathedral glass, and from the roof a
bulky steeple lifts a weather vane
above the tree tops. The windows were
broken in many places, as though some

self by casting stones through them.
